I hacked over worm once to use the ipcmessagewait() thingy for 60th
sleeps, and it is much more fun now... All you need say is
ipcmessagewait(ALLPORTS, x), where ALLPORTS is -1 and x in milliseconds.

By the way, if anybody wants the new worm, let me know...

There was also '#ifdef LUCAS' in the ~4.1c kernel for a syscall called nap()
which'll do 60ths. I thought it so bizarre that I fell out of my chair
laughing.
